This is where I share the wisdom that a granny, as an elder of the tribe, accumulates in her journey through life. The reach of my mind is wide, and sometimes even a little deep. Sometimes, like Whitman, I contradict myself. Sometimes I wax eloquent. Sometimes I fall on my face. Why not do it in public?

We Just Don't Know

General Wesley Clark says we don't know yet what happened to Pat Tillman, without dismissing the idea of murder rather than friendly fire. We don't know, if it was murder, how high it goes. The day was when I would have believed such an idea had come from someone with tin foil lining his hat. But, sad to say, no longer. I look at the other things that have happened in the last seven years, and I put nothing beyondpossibility.

What happened? Why did it happen? Who initiated it? Who blessed the cover-up?

And how does executive privilege factor into this?

I want to weep for my country. That we have come to a place where we can even consider such a tragedy.
